May Flowers.

It's finally May!!! Last week I didn't write at all because I was enjoying a little hiatus with family and friends.  I'm sort of excited because I haven't been feeling the best physically but the sun is peaking through the clouds more often now. For me, sunshine equals freedom. The best thing about May's arrival, besides the lovely flora and fauna is the fact that my birthday isn't too far away. Right before the end of May I'll be 23. I can honestly say that I learn new lessons every single day. In my 11 months and 2 days of being 22, I am solidified in my belief that perseverance is key. I've had some very trying moments in this year. As much as I wanted to throw in the towel and curl into the fetal position, I rose above it. The more I think about it actually, the more it dawns on me that the older I get the more I have to rise above. I can understand why that would be the circumstance though, most things people do to get through things when that are younger would be completely unacceptable  as of now. It's not, nor will it ever be productive to throw a tantrum or give the silent treatment as an adult. It will only make you look childish and petty. Behaving in a manner such as that also conveys the lack of respect you have for the person you're choosing to adress. It's best to be beyond that and treat people with respect its when its difficult. I've always seen May as the month to focus on and celebrate renewal and the blossoming of one's mindset and spirit. Regardless of what life conjures up, it's  important to  remain the best version of yourself that you can offer. Kindness and respect are traits in an individual that arent easily forgotten. Common decency always comes back tenfold.
